It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

I have to say (don't I? :-) ) that, though this was not a programme I would choose to listen to other than for research purposes, I have heard worse presentation in the past by Radio 3 presenters. I think. Whereas the worst aspects of today's programme were the regular tedium-inducing interruptions. Was I not concentrating fully (I'm not sure that I listened until the end, though I did hear the sudden silence - if silence is something you hear).It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

BTW DM was not just the voice of TTN but its creator, according to the Radio Three history by the blessed Humphrey Carpenter of recent memory.

So that's "Pearl Fishers", "L'Arlesienne", "Jeux d'enfants" and the "Symphony in C" dismissed then.
